usually the firmware for these devices was written up to 10 years ago, when the threat landscape was very different from what it is today.
you'll notice that newer devices on fresh codebases (ie: mesh routers) are much more up to par security-wise.
- mszcz 9y agoCertainly seems that way. I didn't/don't have any mesh routers so I couldn't tell but I image that the Google router thingy is way better software/security wise (privacy being probably a seperate discussion in this particular case ;). I've also read some good things about Ubiquiti here. Anyhow I keep wondering how many beatings on the security front do those companies need to take in order to figure out that, at the current landscape, developing a decent, secure and clean firmware/frontend would give them a big big edge over the competition.
